Environment Waste management and recycling As a company within the metalworking industry, we are conscious of the need to manage our waste responsibly and develop solutions to the many challenges in this area. Waste materials are valuable resources that must be utilised for as long as possible. At every stage – from product development to production and ultimately disposal – we must therefore take steps to reduce our waste and promote opportunities for reuse and recycling. A prudent and strategic waste management strategy is vital if we are to curb our consumption of primary raw materials, eliminate any unnecessary transport operations and create closed-loop material cycles. At Blum, our strategy is based on the waste management hierarchy set out in the EU Waste Framework Directive, which outlines the order in which different waste management options should be applied: Prevent – Reuse – Recycle – Recover – Dispose. By applying this hierarchy, we believe we can make a positive contribution to the circular economy and promote sustainable business practices more generally. ➔ GRI 306-1, GRI 306-2 Prevention Quantity Priority Recycling Recovery Disposal Reuse 54 © Copyright by Blum
